Yes.
I have an app on my phone for usage limits, and for social media I have that set for 1 hour. I rarely hit the limit nowadays, but Lemmy is more than capable of taking up that time unless I have a super specific question in a niche hobby

No, I like reading and writing here, but I spend a lot of time watching short videos. It's a constant bombardment of interesting facts (mixed with some news, memes, trends...); it's stimulating.
quite less actually, since theres less content, plus i blocked alot of people lemmy for obvious trolling, tanking, which lemmy has very little users already. so i just wait til later in the night to acess lemmy. on reddit i was on it every chance i could get.
I spend a little less on average due to the slower flow of content.
But I spend more time writing somewhat in depth comments and actually interacting with lemmy, I'd wager. Reddit was high volume but outside of my niche mechanics subreddits I wouldn't comment much more than memes and one liners.
Not really, I stop in and chat a bit on posts I find interesting. On Reddit I doomscrolled.
As I avoid Reddit like the plague? Yeah.
More time than new reddit, less time than old reddit.
I was pretty active in comments for the first 8 years or something. Had a post or two hit front page.
No dinosaurs bringing up Digg?
Way less, because there isn't nearly the amount of content here.
Yup. Mostly because reddit was mostly about mmos for me and then pathfinder but im on the fediverse more generally.
I probably spend about the same amount of time here as I did on Reddit.
I don't comment or vote on reddit anymore. I use them both a similar amount I'd think. If I ever have to do research into a topic though the answer is almost always on reddit.
reddit keeps track of it apparently, downvote, commenting and posting, they try to arbitrarily(through Ai) to see if your a bot, or spamming.
Yeah these days it feels a lot more high stakes to do anything on reddit since if you vote on the wrong thing you can get banned and if you comment on the wrong thing you can also get banned lmao. Easiest option is to just not participate.
About the same for me. Can't possibly use it more than 24/7 without doing Superman levels of physics fuckery to add more days to the week. 🤷♂️
I only ever used Reddit via web, but on Lemmy I have Mlem, which has increased my mobile use a ton
I spend about as much time as I did on reddit, but it depends on how the content is day to day.
I still read certain things on reddit when search engines take me there, but that's mainly for niche things that aren't super popular here. Mainly the Gloryhammer and AllTheMods subs tbh.
Same for me! For niche hobbies, Reddit still has a lot of valuable older information. That might change though.
I read things on Reddit sometimes (using Eddrit or RedLib) to narrate for Cocules Reddit Readings. Otherwise, I don't even use Reddit (nor do I have an account on that toxic slop).
No, but that's because I add a lot of friction so I don't spend much time on social media. So I only access Lemmy by website from my phone. It's pretty inconvenient, just the way I want it.
I don't spend any time on this website at all because I have 1 billion dollars.
